Show linked set

[Ayane Philly]

How could i make a script into an object that has linked prims and when it rezz start showing prim by prim like a sequence and at the end all the prims are visible

In the state_entry event..

1. Get the number of prims in the linkset with llGetNumberOfPrims.

2. Start a loop that repeats for each prim.

3. During each loop, use llSetLinkAlpha to make a prim visible. 

Also make sure that the object is invisible before you rez it.

a loop?

Yes, a loop, as in ....

 

timer()
{
    iCount = (++iCount)%(llGetNumberOfPrims() + 1);  // Assuming that iCount is a global integer variable
    if (iCount == 0)
    {
        llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 0.0,ALL_SIDES);
     }
     else
     {
          llSetLinkAlpha(iCount,1.0,ALL_SIDES);
     }
}

Three ways of doing loops (generally it's a matter of personal preference which people use):

Also some of the examples are not efficient when they call llGetListLength() via for loop condition input instead of assigning it to a local prior and referencing it for condition input every increment instead. Using it as an initializer is fine of course.

Some will probably just argue preference there too, though.

an example you can test with...

integer count = 1;
integer prims;
default
{
    state_entry()
    { 
    }
    on_rez(integer param)
    {  llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET, 0.0,ALL_SIDES);      
       prims = llGetNumberOfPrims();
       llSetTimerEvent( 0.5);
    }
    timer()
    {  llSetLinkAlpha(count, 1.0,ALL_SIDES);
       count++;
        if( count == prims)
        { llSetTimerEvent( 0.0 );
        }     
       llSetTimerEvent(2.0 );
    }
}

The timer event looks wrong to me, since I think that the way it's written, as soon as you turn the timer event off, you turn it straight back on again.

Since the timer event will continue to fire until you turn it off, there's no need to keep calling llSetTimerEvent in the timer, so I'd simply say

    timer()
    {  llSetLinkAlpha(count, 1.0,ALL_SIDES);

        if( ++count == prims)
        { 
		llSetTimerEvent( 0.0 );
        }     
    }
